Are you listening to music? Doing background uploads or downloads?
No nothing like that. On login, I start two processes `conky -D' and
`emacs --daemon'. Apart from this I only have a few terminals, Firefox
and a few emacs frames open. The Xfce session amanger starts pidgin and
dropbox. That's about all the processes.
I also use OfflineIMAP to sync my email, but that is setup to run every
5 minutes, and it has been setup as a cron job for ages; I never had
problems with it before.
Right now, my network usage is less than a KiB/s, both upload and
download, and my lod average is 0.98!
